Question 63 of 140

After steering to correct an initial skid, why is it important to straighten the wheel again as soon as the vehicle responds?

Pick an answer

Straightening the wheel immediately always causes a second skid
The wheel should be held firmly in the correction until the vehicle comes to a complete and full stop
Holding the correction too long can send the vehicle into a skid in the opposite direction
It has no effect either way once the first skid is controlled

Correct!

Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 63 (Combination Vehicles): Holding the correction too long can send the vehicle into a skid in the opposite direction

Why

Steering correction only needs to last until the tires regain grip; holding it past that point can swing the vehicle the other way and start a second skid in the opposite direction.
